Texas Inspectors - The approved SOP and form is now posted

[Emmanuel J. Scanlan]

FYI!

The new, approved and final SOP and REI 7A-1 has been posted on the TREC WEB site. It can be located at:

http://www.trec.state.tx.us/inspector/default.asp

Look to the left under "Recently Adopted And Proposed TREC Rules" and "Prop. Insp. Report" menu options.

Thanks Manny.

I was looking at the six page TREC inspection form. Do they allow you to report on more than what is on the form?

[Michael R. Boyett]

Yes, you can.

The form is rather simplistic looking as compared to the SOP, don't cha think?

[John McKenna]

What are the most noticeable changes to the SoP requirements?

[Michael R. Boyett]

John, I'm working on a short Powerpoint presentation to highlight the significant SOP changes. I should have it finished later today and will send or post a copy soon.

[Michael R. Boyett]

John, see if you can open & view this Draft Version of my Powerpoint Show.

Mike,

Very good presentation!!

[Dominic J. Maricic]

Thanks Mike. I've been working on the new update for Home Inspector Pro for the changes. Nolan has been very helpful and I'd like to see the slideshow you made too. Do you mind saving it as a 2003 PPT file. I don't have Office 2007 and Open Office can't open 2007 files yet.

[Michael R. Boyett]

Dominic...I'll e-mail you a .ppt version. Standby.

[Dominic J. Maricic]

Thanks Mike. You could always convert it to PDF format too that way anyone who doesn't have powerpoint could view it.

[Dominic J. Maricic]

I should have looked before opening my mouth. MS released a free 2007 PP viewer just like they have with previous versions. I'm downloading it now. Anyone else can download it at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

[Michael R. Boyett]

Yes, I have a pdf version and was going to post that here but it exceeds the board's allowable size so I didn't do that. I had already sent the ppt and the pdf to you prior to seeing this post so you can just ignore that e-mail.

[Dominic J. Maricic]

I got them. You've done a great job summarizing some of the changes. I'm guessing this is directed for showing off to real estate agents. I look forward to seeing the final version.
